“Islam is the sanctification of man’s most corrupted instincts.”

Islam is the sanctification of man’s most corrupted instincts. 

It takes what is base in human nature and give it a divine sanction.

Man’s desire to dominate women? Islam codifies it. Veiling, polygamy, child marriage, testimony worth half a man’s, all justified as God’s will.

The tribal impulse of “my group over yours”? Islam raises it to the level of theology: believers vs. infidels, the ummah against the world.

The lust for supremacy and conquest? Islam call it jihad and makes it a religious demand.

The primal rage at dissent? Islam turns it into law: apostasy punishable by death.

Man’s lust for unlimited sex? Islam provides it: four wives, temporary marriages, concubines, sex slaves, and the promise of virgins in paradise. 

This is why Islam went global. It spread because it indulged what was already animal in humans. 

It is like pornography, irresistible to the flesh, destructive to the soul.

It thrives because it removes all discipline from sexuality, power and ego. 

It appeals to the raw, the unrefined, the barbaric impulse in man, and calls it holy.

The West, by contrast, was built on the exact opposite impulse. The Judeo-Christian tradition does not legitimize man’s depravity, it restrains it.

Western civilization is not the freedom of instincts but the discipline of them. 

It is the recognition that man’s raw impulses lead to tyranny, slavery, and barbarism unless they are checked by higher law.

The clash between Islam and the West is not merely geopolitical. It is civilizational at the deepest level: 

Whether human nature should be indulged or disciplined, whether man’s lowest instincts are to be worshipped or restrained.
